Reverting information about Hazel?
editWhy the roll back? I haven't seen the episode, so I don't know if the entry is totally made up. Garfield Fandom wiki does not include any information about Hazel. https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=List_of_Garfield_characters&oldid=963929453
Observation: in the list of characters, the name of the movie Garfield's Pet Force is written twice!
editHe is writen in Garfield's Get a Real and sequels and in Garfield's Pet Force same, why the repetition?
In the case, the names of the characters from this movie don't should appear in the same sub-section?
Please, rethink about this, OK?
question
editwhen did garfield see snoopy in the mirror?
He did, in one comic. Keaze 15:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
what was the date?
I'll try to find out. Keaze 21:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Got it! It's 11.14.1988. right before the Swiss-toast joke in Garfield summer special magazine after #16. I think... Keaze 22:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
thanks!
comment
edit- I have never seen Binky the Clown in the original comics (at least not since 2001). Does anyone know a date of a strip in which Binky has got an appearance? Martin8721 23:05, 16 April 2006 (CET)
- I don't know when Binky appeared in the Garfield strips, but I do know that he made a cameo on a U.S. Acres strip, dated March 6, 1989 [1]. - NES Boy 05:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. Although I do not like U.S. Acres, it's really interesting that he had an appearcance there too. Martin8721 20:40, 18 May 2006 (CET)
- Actually, Garfield was employed by Binky for a short while when he ran away from home in 1986. Binky has made other cameo appearances, such as being heard on the television. --Bando26 (talk) 04:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

"Elizabeth?
editI remember reading in a Garfield comic that "Liz" stood for "Lizard." Klaus Kratchet 15 Sept 2007 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 01:27, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- So do I; unfortunately I don't know where to look for a strip reference. --DocumentN (talk) 00:45, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I believe it was somewhere in the second compilation book. Not sure though.--65.68.97.195 (talk) 20:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- It was on June 27, 1979, but I think it's pretty obvious that she is being sarcastic, which would mean that she isn't serious, and her name isn't really Lizard. --Bando26 (talk) 04:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposal
editI suggest that we create seperate articles for Garfield (character), Jon Arbuckle, and Odie, then move the rest of the characters to List of minor Garfield characters. After all, if comic characters such as Calvin, Charlie Brown, and Dilbert have their own articles, shouldn't Garfield have one as well?--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 03:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- I would say keep this page and then let people spin new pages off on the characters. But you're right, it is surprising that Garfield, Odie, and Jon don't have their own articles yet. Sarge Baldy 00:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Nermal is a BOY??
editGood lord. When did that happen? Stevekl 19:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Nermal was always male.
Guido the Spider
editWhen Was Guido the Spider introduced? I need month-Day-and year.
- I believe that Guido made an appearance once in 1997. I don't actually know if he made any other apperances. Ryan Holloway (talk) 22:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- Guido the Spider appeared on March 26, 1998 and August 18, 1998. There has also been a Guido the cat and Guido the ... monster ... ? --Bando26 (talk) 04:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Refrence to former US President?
editIs it possible that Jon's middle initial, "Q" is a refrence to John Quincy Adams, the 6th President of the United States?. Both he and Jon Arbuckle have the same full initials, "J.Q.A.". 205.251.53.132 19:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Maybe? --Thylacinus cynocephalus (talk) 00:53, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Fansite tag
editWe don't need to list every secondary character, so I put the "fansite" tag on -- it was the closest I could think of. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Actions • Words))) 12:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Looking over the article, I don't think it resembles a fan site. Its inclusion of most (all??) minor characters may well qualify it for a "too long" tag, which is already there, but I don't think it's praisy or gushy or shippy or any of the other things that fansites often are. IMO the characters are fairly evenly described. And if it's too long, maybe a new article for minor characters is in order. I've removed the tag. -- Dethme0w 04:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Tree cat
editI remember that Garfield once got stuck up in a tree with a cat that was raised by a squirrel. Might be worth including once somebody finds the dates that story ran.--Henke37 20:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- That's Ed. He was featured from July 2 to July 13 in 1985, save for a Sunday strip. That's significantly longer than many characters appear in the strip, but I don't think that Ed recurs enough to include in this article. --Bando26 (talk) 04:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Ga070413.gif
editImage:Ga070413.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
cleanup
editThis article is in terrible need for a cleanup and trimdown. xC | ☎ 01:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, maybe you can offer some suggestions. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sections objects thrown at garfield, alter egos, Pests and Household Appliances seem unneccessary to me.
- we list Garfield, Jon, Odie in article Garfield and this article and have seperate articles of their own. Is this really neccessary? Is there any other way to get around this content duplication?
- Random comic-strip-stories must be removed from the article. For example, "Garfield attempts to steal a pie at his house and tangles Luca up in garden gnomes." There is no need for any of that in this article.
- As with any other article, a thorough copy-edit and more references are required. The article sorely lacks reliable sources.xC | ☎ 10:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Garfield's Mom
editSonja is Garfield's mother. She has made appearances in the animated specials Garfield on the Town and Garfield: His 9 Lives, as well as several cameos in the comic strip (including a December 1984 story which was a loose adaptation of Garfield on the Town). Sandi Huge provided her voice in the specials. She also appeared once on Garfield and Friends.
I've been reading Garfield for 4 years now, and I've heard no mention of Garfield's mother being named Sonja. We currently have no reference to this. Ryan Holloway (talk) 02:08, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- If indeed there's no ref for it, remove it. :)-xC- 05:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- There is no mention of that name in any of the Garfield strips. --Bando26 (talk) 04:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Villains

Rubber cock
editIn the list of characters there is no mention of rubber cock which appeared in 10th book (I hope it was 10th). I remember it was one of the funniest characters I've ever seen when reading Garfield. I think it would be appropriate to list him. But I'm not fanciing doing that, so I suggest someone would. Thanks for all Garfield fans. Adam —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.103.5.16 (talk) 20:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Stretch appeared in 13 strips throughout 1984, starting on June 19 as a birthday present for Garfield. There isn't much to write about Stretch other than that Jon hated being pecked by him. --Bando26 (talk) 04:33, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Nermal's plastic surgery
editOK, so this has been reverted twice, so I'll start a discussion about it. Nermal admitted to having plastic surgery. I think this is relevant. It's already on there that he looks so young and cute because he's a midget, he drinks coffee, and he smokes, so how is cosmetic surgery irrelevant to the issue? It's just a recent piece of information that is no less irrlevant to the situation than what we already have on here. I've added this back for the moment. Discussion? -Platypus Man | Talk 18:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- It's very hard to source and it's original research, that's why. Looking at the strip, Nermal never explicitly said he had plastic surgery, he just said "that's real" regarding his eyelash. He could have been joking. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:13, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- OK, as for the source, that's the strip. It was provided. And just because he did not specifically say that he had cosmetic surgery, there is no other way that I can see to interpret that line. The words "I had cosmetic surgery" need not be present. And to assume that he was joking would be original research, not the other way around. The lines about him being a midget and drinking coffee and smoking were probably presented in the same way, as a single line that could be interpreted as a joke, but they're here and they aren't even sourced. Sure, interpreting Garfield continuity like it's serious business may not be your thing, but that's what Wikipedia does. -Platypus Man | Talk 02:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Nermal's first appearance
editDidn't he appear in 28 March 1979? --CyberDiablo 20:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Not Garfield characters page
editWell, this isn't a Garfield characters page. I rewrote it so we can have more depth in the Garfield universe 50.46.237.146 (talk) 00:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
- The other page (List of Garfield characters) sounds like it only focuses on the characters appearing in the comic strip, regardless of its context. But because some characters from movies and TV shows do not appear on the original strips, using another term may be necessary. Anyway, there's probably nothing wrong with this page. Take Mickey Mouse universe and Duck universe for example. 111.125.110.125 (talk) 03:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
- I disagree. There's nothing in this article that doesn't seem to be a character and the intro says it is a list of Garfield characters so it should be at List of Garfield characters. RJFJR (talk) 15:53, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- In that case, some rewriting and inclusion of certain stuff maybe required. 111.125.110.125 (talk) 00:23, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Or make an arcticle saying List of Garfield universe characters, but "universe" pages show setting and such, but this is only charatcers and it dosen't seem right. 50.46.237.146 (talk) 14:10, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Considering this article is nothing but a list of characters, and the article List of Garfield characters redirects to it, seems like it should definitely be named as "List of Garfield characters". Garfield isn't like something like Mickey Mouse or Final Fantasy where there's tons of backstory to the setting to describe. Sergecross73 msg me 15:00, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Lyman?
editLyman is linked at the page http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Odie and directly in this Subpage in the description of Odie ([...]He was initially owned by Jon's roommate, Lyman (see below)[...]). But is never mentioned or described again. Jim Davis can retcon all he wants, but for me having read the original strips Lyman will always be the proper owner of Odie, whereas Jon is merely a caretaker. --88.75.186.126 (talk) 08:34, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Restoring Odie's article
editHi. I would like to leave this message to start a talk page discussion for restoring Odie's article. He is a major character in the Garfield franchise and is pretty well-known. He has appeared in almost all Garfield media and is even in the 3 Garfield movies. He's not just some character. He is arguably one of the most well-known dog characters in history.
